SLHW Membership Drive

Dear Member,


The Society of Latino and Hispanic Writers of San Antonio celebrated seven years on July, 2011. In that time we have had the good fortune to become a 501( c) (3) non-profit organization. As such, we are eligible to apply for grants to further our members writing careers and to contribute to the community as well.

However, in order to do this, we need to become a viable organization with funds. To reach our goals, both short term and long term, we are going to implement a membership drive beginning November 2011 through January 31, 2012. We will email a membership application to all the members we now have who have provided us with their email addresses. At this time we will also ask for annual dues of $25. You may mail the money to the following address:

The Society of Latino and Hispanic Writers of San Antonio

P. O. Box 160311
San Antonio, TX 78280

The benefits you will receive if you become a dues-paying member of the Society are as follows:

Read at our quarterly Cinco Minutos With You
Discount on fees for workshops not held at regular meeting times at Barnes & Noble
Participate in book fairs and other book events with the support of the Society
Monthly electronic newsletter (may also contribute articles/ story excerpts to newsletter)
Author link on Society’s website

You annual dues are tax-deductible since we are a non-profit organization.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email me at laniez4057@yahoo.com.

Sincerely,

Lupe M. Gonzalez
President
The Society of Latino and Hispanic Writers of San Antonio
